Clock adjustment circuit, shift detection circuit of duty ratio, imaging device and clock adjustment method

Abstract

A clock adjustment circuit includes: first and third switching elements to be in a conductive state when in-phase and reverse-phase clock signals in a high level are applied to input terminals, respectively; second and fourth switching elements whose input terminals are connected to output terminals of the first and third switching elements, respectively, which become in the conductive state when the in-phase and reverse-phase clock signals in a low level are applied to output terminal, respectively; first and second capacitor elements whose one terminal is connected to an output terminal of the first and third switching element, respectively; and a shift detection unit detecting potential difference between the output terminals of the first and third switching elements and outputs the detection signal as a signal for adjusting a duty ratio of the clock signal.
